I think Nelson will do just fine at UND. The coaching staff does a good job at developing the younger skilled guys. The same scrawny arguement was brought up about Kristo a year ago, and look at the season he had, albeit as a winger. We once again have wingers with size, so if Nelson's size is an issue, then maybe his wingers will be asked to do the dirty "center" work in the offensive zone until he puts on some muscle. As for David Toews, he had every opportunity to prove himself. He came in little and scrawny, and was easily knocked off the puck. Last year he showed signs that he could play, but was extremely streaky, and simply was not good enough to crack the lineup night in and night out. I don't think he would have blossomed at another D1 lineup, but I could be wrong.

Please keep us updated on the other guy that's relevant to this discussion (i.e. dominating USHL) - Jason Gregoire. He's the guy I'll measure Lee against. I very much doubt we'll see the college numbers from Lee that we've seen from Gregoire.
